Programmes approved by the National REDD+ Fund

last updated : 8 July 2019

To date the Steering Committee of the National REDD+ Fund has approved fifteen programmes, together totalling over US$ 130 millions in approved funding since the capitalisation of the National REDD+ Fund by CAFI.

Of these, US$ 107 millions (not counting parallel contribution) are part of a first, unconditional tranche while the remainder is conditionned to programme performance and the evaluation of the milestones of the Letter of Intent. The independent verification of these milestones is taking place from May to October 2019

These programmes support the launch of key needed reforms on agriculture, land-use planning and related national land use scheme, energy, family planning and a tenure policy to better secure tenure in the rural sector.

Approved programmes will also enhance existing actions at the provincial and territorial level in high deforestation REDD+ areas (Mai Ndombé, ex-Orientale, Sud Ubangui, Equateur, Kwilu and Mongala) where local communities and territorial entities will be supported to sustainably manage and use resources.

Two programmes target civil society and indigenous peoples, and a cross-cutting programme will help the country finalize its national forest monitoring system.

These programmes, supported by the World Bank, UNDP, FAO and UN-Habitat were appproved following formal calls for proposals, two independent evaluations, and technical reviews by the Technical Comittee.
